 note = {To record information of a certain cultural property, whether movable or immovable, spatial information is as important as identification and characteristic information. For the scientific study of cultural properties’ conservation, positional information associated with cultural properties is one of the primary information.
 Furthermore, to predict and assess the probable natural hazards for the prevention of disaster on cultural properties, it is necessary to obtain information on the location of cultural properties and know the risk of such hazards at each location. To make such a probabilistic approach practical, it is necessary to harmonize a database of cultural properties with a database of hazard information and to adopt the geographic information system (GIS). However, not enough effort has been put into preparing
a database of cultural properties, especially one that makes use of GIS.
 In such circumstances, a GIS database on the national treasures, both buildings and applied arts, was constructed by the authors, and seismic hazard assessment was conducted by using the databases of cultural properties and active faults. The number of cultural properties in the existing database, however, is too small compared to the total number of nationally designated cultural properties.
 Given this situation, a GIS database of applied arts designated as important cultural properties has been constructed to be used as the fundamental data for establishing conservation plans and disaster prevention plans. The existing database constructed and diffused by the Agency for Cultural Affairs is used as the basis of this GIS database, but some problems were found in the process of construction. For example, the number of cultural properties that includes information of the owners is 557, but the names of the owners are not written in over 9,000 records. In addition, as for the addresses of the cultural properties, various types of disunion in format and data errata exist in the present database.
 To construct a GIS database for the management of cultural properties, uniformity of data and appropriate data item selection are necessary. At the same time, cooperation between the national and municipal organizations that are responsible for the protection of cultural properties are also necessary in order to keep the quality of data as well as to save the consumption of time and money.},
